One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesPoway recorded 5 traffic deaths alongside 70 injury collisions in the most recent full year of data, numbers that translate into real families navigating unimaginable loss. When a crash on Twin Peaks Road, Pomerado Road, or one of Poway's other busy corridors takes a life, California law gives certain surviving family members a path to hold the responsible party accountable through a civil wrongful death claim. This is separate from any criminal proceeding and follows its own rules, including strict time limits and specific categories of people who may bring the claim. We handle wrongful death cases and can explain standing, deadlines, and what losses may be recoverable. You focus on your family. We focus on the legal process. There's no fee unless we secure a recovery on your behalf.
California limits wrongful death standing to a spouse or domestic partner and children first, with other dependents or heirs eligible in certain circumstances. We can help sort out who qualifies in your family's specific situation.
Most wrongful death claims must be filed within two years of the date of death, though claims against a government entity carry a much shorter window. Given Poway's mix of state routes and city-maintained roads, figuring out which deadline applies matters early on.
